Too bad my store will get pumpkins, but won't let us merchandise the pallets on the floor :( We have to take them all out and merch them on the tables or below them (in the shallow cardboard runners with the straw). I was never a fan of doing double work and wasting time that could be spent...

$0.49 for my Lunchables!

That's complete bullshit. That applies to ALL hourly team members. I know service desk can be stressful and you don't want to leave it unmanned, but it is completely not right to stiff you out of any breaks. You need to speak to HR to have this TL reprimanded. Worst case scenario if...

Yeah, my PAs are on opposite rotating weekends. When mytime rolled out, there was a concern that they would get screwed and be on every weekend, like what happened to softlines brand, etc. However, I made it a point to challenge for them to maintain their weekends, because I believe that "Best...

The PAs are the only reason Pfresh can function properly - fact! I'm alloted 2 for my store. I've always had good ones. Having solid PAs to handle pfresh lets me be able to spend most of my day with dry market and all the vendors, among other hardline departments and responsibilities. The PA is...

The turnover at my store in the past year has been incredible. STL, ETLs, TLs. It's like watching people jump overboard and try to swim to shore than stay in the ship that is taking on water. We do what we can, but gone are the days of breaking my back to run a marathon with no finish line in...

So we have a confirmation that subt 9999 still works under the new subt application?

According to best practice, "Consumables" consists of pfresh, market, paper, pets, chemicals, etc. That "ETC" is where your store can come in and joyfully add whatever the hell they want. Though I've been working with my ETL on just running it as pfresh/market, since including other workcenters...

Yes!! I'm a firm believer that there is no all encompassing "Best Practice". Every store has different needs and what will work in store x may not work in store z. Just an example, Pfresh is a very specialized workcenter. Just a low level example, well according to Best Practice, one shouldn't...

I've had a TM clock out and leave his shift 4 hours early and go home without telling anyone in the building (including the LOD) and all HR let me do was coach him. Wasn't able to write him up, even with other examples of unwise decisions (this was his first time doing this though). So there's...

Unless the visits were unannounced they would never get a good sense of what the stores were like. Every time there is the slightest chance someone who is anyone might maybe drive near my store it the place is engulfed in madness. The outcome is a nice looking store, just don't look under the...

It's certainly not moving in a positive direction it seems. Our STL recently quit, as did the STL in another district store of ours (we are the top 2 targets in our district). 2 ETLs in our store recently quit as well. In addition there is all of the consolidating - our store is losing the ETL...

I would suggest slowing down on vendor deliveries and letting the backrooms run as dry as possible for vendors, because you're backroom WILL fill up with shopping carts and shopping carts of merch. If possible, break most of your endcap ties and flex as much as possible to keep your backroom as...

Ours was a little rough because our presentation team can sometimes struggle. This is a huge remodel because so much is moving, etc. I know the expectation was for it to all be done in about 3 nights, but I would suggest seeing if your management would be willing to let it be done in 4 or 5...

PA is typically a dollar more than sales floor. In a high volume store like mine it can be a stressful position. You're never not busy. But its also an awesome role to prep you for TL if that's what you're gunning for. I've promoted 3 (hope to be 4 soon) PAs to a TL level position!

Hey everyone! New member here (longtime reader), I enjoy reading all the threads and thought I would make an account so I could contribute. My specialty is Market (obviously) and am a CTL. 6 years with Target. I look forward to chatting with everyone!
